"The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has announced plans for celebrities to decorate gnomes, which will then be auctioned to raise funds for the charity's school gardening campaign. These whimsical figures could even feature within the RHS and The King's Foundation Curious Garden. This innovative space aims to spark public interest in horticulture, inspiring the next generation of gardeners and encouraging careers in environmental and rural crafts."
"Garden gnomes are poised to make a surprising return to the world-renowned Chelsea Flower Show, as organisers lift their historic ban for only the second time. The garden's design includes subtle tributes to its champions: the King, Sir David Beckham, and leading horticulturalist Alan Titchmarsh."
The Royal Horticultural Society lifts its historic ban on garden gnomes at the Chelsea Flower Show, marking only the second time this has occurred. Celebrities will decorate gnomes that will be auctioned to support the charity's school gardening initiative. The gnomes may be featured in the RHS and The King's Foundation Curious Garden, a new space designed to inspire public interest in horticulture and encourage careers in environmental and rural crafts. The garden's design includes tributes to its champions: the King, Sir David Beckham, and horticulturalist Alan Titchmarsh. A gnome reference acknowledges a tradition at Highgrove Gardens, the King's Gloucestershire residence, where a gnome is displayed in the stumpery.
